Peanut Butter Cookies - Light Recipe

Reduced Fat Peanut Butter

On average, low-carb, low-sugar and reduced-fat varieties of peanut butter will reduce the fat grams to 6 fat grams per tablesoon from 8 fat grams if you want to go that route. They will also reduce each cookie by 20 calories but sometimes you sacrifice the peanut butter "zing" using the reduced varieties. Cooks.com used Skippy peanut butter and found that this produced the "best" cookie for taste.

Great Light Recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies

The best light recipe for peanut butter cookies, but best to use dry-roasted salted peanuts. If you are concerned about sodium content, you can substitute reduced-salt or unsalted peanuts. For the cookies to bake properly though, bake 1 tray at a time! I found this recipe in cooks.com The Best Light Recipe cookbook and as a review, give it 5 thumbs up! Great recipes and worth the purchase!

They are super good and freeze really well too - I just thaw them out for a couple of minutes and poof they're gone. Since I can't eat chocolate, at least I can eat these! Thanks for commenting, Holle.
